Not sure.
Yes?
Wait - they were two different people?
LOL
My first post was a joke at Scotty's expense, the second one was a joke at Cody's expense.
Sorry if I'm too subtle for you heathens.

Can’t wait to see where Shenault is after his career at CU. So much raw talent right now.

Blackout Boyz 1-5. The order doesn't matter.
I did not read the middle pages of this but I didn't see Charles Johnson (the WR) on this list?? Anybody remember the 1993 season. He made some insane catches that year and was a great blocker out there as well. I think you have to put him above many on this list.
That pisses me off when players do that sh** I say remove them from the alumni list
And never mention them again!
Not gonna rank them but CJ is up there. Damn good at CU plus a pretty good Steeler. Hearing his story was pretty special. Dude loved ice cream.
A very Luko post.
I'm guessing u didnt see it. Ok, ill find it.

I guess it depends on the question - best WRs to come out of CU, or best receivers as CU players? Because Nelson Spruce broke a bunch of school records.
I only started following the Buffs after moving here in the late 90s. So McCoy is the only one I saw play, and I happen to think that Chev and Spruce were both in the discussion with McCoy.
Soup! I don't know what his receiving stats were, but I don't think we've ever had a WR more successful at running the reverse.

The funny thing is this thread was started by a dude just trying to get AllBufferinos over to his own website. At least it appears so.
Still a good topic.

Prichard's my all-time. Insane catches.
1. There is only one Bufferino.
2. The destruction of Matt Thompson was legendary.
Thanks for reminding me. I'm going back to page one.

I had him in a couple of classes. Really good guy and serious student.

Branch and Pritchard had to be one-two. Or at least in serious contention for the best two.
I'll re-tell the ice cream story. We had a soft serve ice cream machine at training table. CJ would have a bowl or plate of ice cream every night for dinner. Sometimes as dinner. He grew up spending a lot of time homeless. Ice cream was a luxury that he didn't see much of until he got to Boulder. So he made the most of it. So Luke isn't crazy. About this at least.
That was a fun trip down memory lane. I gave out some long overdue (8 years overdue) rep.

Thanks for that story. CJ's story was great, and he seemed like an unassuming, humble person. He's one my all time favorite Buffs. My favorite play of his was I believe against Miami. Kordell threw a pick to the DB covering CJ, and CJ just went over, took the ball out of the DB's hands, and rambled forward for several yards. I wish he had more NFL success, but glad he at least got some NFL money. He's one of the many great examples of what college sports could and should do for their athletes.
God I miss negrep.
